The Ashland County Dog licenses for 2018 went on sale Dec. 1, 2017 according to Cindy Funk, county auditor.

Dog license registration forms have been sent to all previously registered dog owners who purchased licenses in 2017. In lieu of registration forms, you may download the 2018 form from our website www.ashlandcounty.org click on Elected Officials — Auditor.

Three-year or permanent licenses are available for your dog(s) in addition to the traditional one-year license. The registration fee for one-year license is $16, the three-year license is $48 and permanent license is $160.

All dogs who have reached 3 months of age must be licensed.

The three-year and the permanent license can only be purchased at the Ashland County Auditor’s Office now through Jan. 31, 2018. Owners should be aware that these longer-term licenses are not refundable in the event of the death of the animal or if the dog is passed to a new owner.

If a license is purchased late (after Jan. 31, 2018), only the one-year license will be available and the cost will increase to $32 per license.

The kennel license is $80. If purchased late (after Jan. 31, 2018), the fee will increase to $160. The kennel license can only be purchased from the dog warden at the Ashland County Dog Shelter, 1710 Garfield Ave., Ashland.

As a convenience to the public, dog licenses may be purchased online at www.doglicenses.us/OH/Ashland. Online purchases require a processing fee of $2.25 per license.

One-year licenses also will be available now through Jan. 31 at the Jeromesville Market, Loudonville Public Library, Mifflin Market, Polk Country Market, Sullivan Market and Troy Road Market.
